Apple announced its long-awaited Vision Pro mixed reality headset at WWDC this morning, but it has since confirmed that it will only be coming to the US initially.
The headset will launch for $3,499 USD (~$5,300 AUD) in early 2024 exclusively in the US before coming to other markets later next year.
Buying the headset will likely require users to visit a physical Apple store location to get fitted as the headset requires a snug fit to delivery an optical experience. Magnetic lenses will also need to be purchase for those that required glasses to ensure that the fit stays snug.
It will come with a seperate battery pack that will ensure that you’re not carrying the weight on your heads, but rather in your pocket as you wear the device. The battery life will last for two hours per charge but you can also plug it in for all-day use.
The device has more pixels per eye than a 4K television and a 3D spatial audio system for immersive audio.
Apple said that you would use your eyes, hands and voice to control the device which would unlock a new world of computing. Just like PlayStation VR2, it has eye tracking in order to scroll through apps and you then use your hands to go into apps.
